Antique Style Violet Sapphire Ring 2.90 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a striking, certified violet sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka, weighing 2.90 carats, oval shape, with dimensions of 9.79 by 6.13 by 5.33 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize both fire and depth. The stone displays intense color saturation, an excellent polish, and a clarity grade of slightly included evaluated at eye level, characteristics that place it well above the many pale or heavily treated stones commonly offered elsewhere. Crucially this sapphire has no enhancement, a rare and valuable attribute that preserves the natural beauty and integrity of the gem, and that sets it apart from heat treated or synthetic alternatives that dominate the market. The mixed brilliant cut gives the sapphire a lively, modern sparkle while retaining the soft oval silhouette that flatters the finger, and the provenance of Ceylon imparts a luminous, velvety violet tone that many collectors and connoisseurs prize above stones from other sources.

Surrounding the central violet sapphire, carefully matched white round natural diamonds add refined brilliance and balance. The halo and accent diamonds include stones weighing approximately 0.306 carats and additional accents weighing approximately 0.12 carats, all graded VS clarity and F slash G color, quality that reads as near colorless to the eye and provides a crisp, bright contrast to the vivid violet center. The diamonds are precisely set and calibrated to enhance the sapphire without overpowering it, producing a luminous frame that elevates the overall composition. The entire setting is crafted in 18K yellow gold, a deliberate choice that warms and intensifies the violet hue in a way that white metals cannot, and that gives the piece a timeless, luxurious presence. Compared to many rings on the market that compromise on metal purity, diamond grade, or gemstone treatment, this design offers superior materials and workmanship, reflecting The Natural Sapphire Company commitment to honest sourcing and enduring design.

More than a collection of technical specifications, this ring expresses personality, taste, and discernment. Its combination of an untreated Ceylon violet sapphire, high quality diamonds, and rich 18K yellow gold reads as both confident and romantic, ideal for someone who values authenticity and distinctive color over mass produced conformity. The oval center gives a graceful elongation on the hand, the halo and side accents add a touch of glamour without being flashy, and the classic yet slightly vintage inspired silhouette signals someone who appreciates heritage and subtle elegance. In contrast to mass market options that often favor generic colorless centers or heavily enhanced stones, this ring communicates that its wearer chooses natural character and provenance, a cultivated sense of style that rewards close inspection and admiration. As an heirloom quality jewel it competes favorably with similarly positioned pieces from other houses, offering a rare untreated Ceylon sapphire and carefully judged diamond accents, all set in solid 18K yellow gold, making it a beautiful, enduring choice for a lifetime of wear.
